From the first harvest, a very special sencha from Kagoshima prefecture located at the southern tip of Japan. Undoubtedly one of our most most popular green teas, this item is definitely a favorite with green tea connoisseurs. Yutaka Midori is an exceptionally "green" green tea. We urge you to compare this sencha against any of the others available on the internet for it's nice emerald green color, wonderful aroma, and excellent taste. Try some today!

Fantastic tea, one of the best Japanese green teas (for my taste). Very intense, with strong grassy, floral/fruity and umami notes. Thick, cloudy, vibrant green liquid (fukamushi style). For first steep, I usually use 5 grams of tea in 60 deg C water for 40 seconds. 20 - 25 seconds for the second steep, 45 - 50 for third.

This is the first fukamushi I have tried and I am most definitely not disappointing! This tea is simply delicious!

First infushion at 77 Celcius for 45 seconds is perfect. Second infusion 20 seconds at same temperature.

When they say fukamushi has small particles, they mean it. If you don't like small bits in your tea, get the appropriate teapot to brew it in. Personally, I just let it sit for a moment and all the particles sink to the bottom.

Although we are shipping orders within our normal 24 hours of receiving them time frame (actually, it's usually 8 hours or less), we are finding the actual *delivery* of parcels to be exceptionally delayed at this time, especially the Northeastern United States. This includes EMS parcels, which are currently failing to even show tracking once they leave Japan.

Because of the effects of winter storms along the U.S., there may be delays in delivery of mail in the regions listed below. Furthermore, there may also be considerable delays in the arrival of mail sent from this region to Japan.

This site is a gem!

The tea I ordered (Uji Asamushi Sencha "Hana no Kaori") was superb, and so was the speed of delivery to my house. The prices are extremely reasonable, and so is the shipping cost. I see myself ordering teas from o-cha.com for a long time to come.

Best regards,

I have been buying and drinking green tea here in the U.S. for more than 25 years (at specialty shops and chains such as Teavana and David's teas) and I have never had green tea as good as O-chas. Your teas are much fresher, much more green in color, and much better tasting than any other I have had. These include your matcha, Gyorkuro, and Sencha teas.
